I made this recipe earlier with a simply glaze, but this time I made it with the recommended Cream Cheese Frosting. It was the first recipe I made from this book, and it's a winner! I was very happy to make it again as I still had lots of zucchini hanging out in the veggie drawer.

The recipe calls for a boatload of cream cheese frosting. I made 1/2 the cupcake recipe and about 1/4 of the frosting recipe. Me thinks Martha and her crew love the frosting way more than me. :)

Be sure to check out the other Martha Stewart Cupcake Club members and their version of the recipe! And be sure to make this tasty treat! (The cupcake is dairy free but the cream cheese frosting...well, is not!)

I thought this recipe sounded familiar! They look so pretty with the frosting. I don't care for frosting but I always have to make extra when it comes to my in-laws cos they love the stuff. Can't understand it!

Thanks so much for baking with me this month Mary and for your kind words! I love you and this fabulous blog too :) Great photos - Martha herself couldn't have made these look any better. I loved this recipe, especially with the cream cheese frosting but maybe someday when I'm trying to be healthier I'll go with a glaze and save some calories!

Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog! Let me tell you, the chocolate chips were the perfect touch! And your cupcakes are sooo cute! My piped swirl just doesn't compare! I love your blog. I'm in with TWD as well but didn't get a chance to jump on the apple turnovers for this week! Wanted to let your know that yours look delicious!

Love the cross-section shot, very nice. All of it is very nice. You are right, it made a boatload of icing and I only made half also...does this stuff freeze??? I noticed that the pumpkin recipe calls for this, I think, so maybe I should just go ahead and do that one and use up the icing! Your cupcakes are beautiful!

I just made this for the second time - a full batch of 2 dozen - and they disappeared frighteningly fast. I put cinnamon in the cream cheese frosting and only made half the frosting for a full batch of cupcakes.
